I am a coffee lover. I always have been. From a very young age my mom and I would share our morning coffee together. Of course, when I was a child it was mostly milk. There are stories of me rolling out of bed at age three, rubbing my eyes, and begging for my coffee. Coffee has always been soothing to me. It reminds me of home and my mom. However, here lately I have been cheating on my beloved beverage. Pregnancy has made the smell of coffee a bit nauseating. So, I started exploring the possibility of drinking hot tea. Initially, it was just harmless flirting. A little taste here, a little taste there, totally innocent. Innocent until I found P.G.Tips tea (oh no, the dancing monkey on their website only makes them love them more!). This tea is special. It is flavorful, rich and absolutely perfect with a little cream and sugar. I must confess that I have had a cup of P.G. Tips everyday for the past week. I know, I should be ashamed. I still love you coffee, I promise this is just a fling. Please forgive me. Hopefully, when my affair with P.G. is done you will have me back despite my indiscretion. Maybe I can make room for the both of you? Maybe we have a little hot beverage polygamy? Sigh. What is a girl to do?

I just saw the video of the dancing monkey, and I must confess, I think I'm sold on the idea.
Where can you find PG tips?
PG Tips amazing, and that's coming from another coffee lover. You could always be faithful to the coffee in the morning, and move your afternoon rondevue with PG Tips to the afternoon.
Marcus,
If you have a World Market or Fresh Market (I believe they are both national chains) they sell it.
Gardener's Market (a little deli in Cleveland) sells it by the cup with a little maple cookie. If you can get your hands on a maple cookie it is the perfect accompaniment to the tea.
If you track it down let me know how you like it! It is best with cream and sugar! Enjoy!
You are so funny ;)! I love that coffee cup!
My friend Jenn brought the cups (we have set of four) while she was in Cambodia. They are awesome cups! Thanks Jenn!
Oh! I LOVVVE PG Tips! I've never liked tea until I found it. I've never tried it with cream & sugar, though, only with honey, but your way sounds better.
Is that the tea or coffee in your cup?
And you should tell me the cream to tea ratio because I would like to add cream or milk I suppose to my tea but have no idea how much to add.
